Wheels of Motion
On the deck of Captain Vulkarias ship Osa makes introduces her family to the captain and his senior staff, then the captain introduces his senior staff to Osa's family. At the same time the crew is showing the archers and warriors to the sleeping area where more hammocks are being hung and sleeping mats are being placed in all available spots. Crates of food, boxes of spices, barrels of water, and casks of wines are all brought aboard so every body can eat.
Captain Vulkarias says, "That is a pretty generous cargo you're giving us for such a short trip. That will cover the price of my crew, but there is still my fee."
Adunbi holds out a small purse of colourful jewels to the captain, "Our people will probably eat a large portion of the food. I'm sure it is not worth much by your standards, but this is all we could collect amongst all the villages. We are all trade villages. One harvests and trades fish, one harvests wool from the sheep to make clothing, another grows fields of crops, another mines under the earth for metals and rare stones to make tool and jewellery, we hunt the woods for flowers to make colors and the plains for meets we cure and trade. We trade amongst each other when we have enough to trade."
Captain Vulkarias accepts the bag, glancing inside for a moment, "These are far more valuable than you think, these will buy the crew more than a few nights pleasure at a brothel. But Adunbi was talking about a more personal payment from your sister, here," the captain giving a slight nod towards Osa, "She's more precious than any of the jewels in there here bag."
Adunbi raises and eyebrow, "We can discuss further terms a payment over dinner."
The captain grins, "Well then, Adunbi guess we will negotiate terms over dinner. I'll have my best wine at the ready."
Osa speaks up, "Vulkarias, would you mind if me and my sisters, use your tub to clean up and barrow some clothing more appropriate for the northern lands?"
The captain nods, "Please, so do, my lovely Osa. If you require anything, just shout and I'll be there to assist."
Osa leads her sister and sister-in-law to the captains quarters, where she shut the door, but deliberately left unlocked, after they all entered. Osa used her magic to conjure enough water to fill Vulkarias 170 cm x 75 cm slipper tub, and then bring it to a comfortably warm temperature. While Osa was doing that, Ekina and Quivina were taking off their cloths. Ekina and Quivina get in the tub on opposite ends while Osa quickly undresses, grabs the soap, and then joins them, sitting in the centre.
They pass the soap back and forth as they wash one another. They cuddle as they take turns running their soapy hands across the delicate skin of each others breasts, stomachs, backs, and arms. Each woman sits on the side of the tub while the others wash her legs and use their soapy fingers to clean then inside and outside of her soft sex. As the three sister get out of the tub, they take turns drying each other off.
Osa then takes them over to a trunk where the captain has a small assortment of women's clothing. They each chose a brightly coloured bohemian dress, Osa wore yellow, Ekina put on light blue, and Quivina chose purple. Then they make their way back to the top deck to an array of whistles and cheers from the sailors and soldiers.
While the girls were gone, Captain Vulkarias took Adunbi on a tour of the ship. To free up ship crew, Adunbi volunteered some of his soldiers climb up to the foremast and mainmast watch stations.
After they are soundly on their way the captains calls for all those in charge to a meeting in his quarters. Captain Vulkarias, Doc, Adunbi, Osa, Quivina, and Ekina have gathered around the dining table with a map of each coastal town sprawled across it, preparing a strategy. Captain Vulkarias first took note of everybody's strengths and abilities are in order to figure out who is best suited to do what job and where they should be. Ultimately, they all decide the best course of action as they brainstorm a siege of the town: Ekina will send her eagle to scout the town before they land at port. Once they make landfall, Quivina's forces will give cover from the ship while Adunbi's forces secure the docks. The archers will then go in groups of 2 to the roofs and give support to the warriors on the ground. Meanwhile, Captain Vulkarias' men will maintain the docks. From the ship, Osa and the Doc will set up a medical station, Ekina and Captain Vulkarias will coordinate everything by messenger.
